    @thehatfox I was so confused. So this is not “Thread” by “Meta”? I first thought the article was written by an AI and “Matter” was meant to be “Meta”. But this has nothing to do with it, lol.

      Nope, “Thread” and “Matter” are smart device protocols. “Threads” is a microblogging platform by “Meta”, the owner of Facebook and Instagram. Tech companies suck at naming things.

      Neither are to confused with the delightfully grim 1984 movie “Threads” about a nuclear apocalypse, or maybe they should be considering the possibly doomed trajectory both may be headed for.
